Lower Back Pain Treatment

Lower back pain specifically affects the lumbar region (below the ribs to the pelvis), which bears the most body weight. While 'back pain' can refer to any part of the spine, lower back pain is the most common type and often relates to disc problems, muscle strain, or poor core stability.

Acute lower back pain (recent onset) typically responds within 3-6 weeks of physiotherapy. If your lower back pain has been present for months, expect 8-12 weeks of treatment. Early intervention leads to faster recovery — don't wait for pain to become chronic.

Core stabilization exercises, gentle stretching, and walking are the foundation of lower back pain recovery. Our physiotherapists teach specific exercises like pelvic tilts, bird-dogs, and modified planks tailored to your pain level. Avoid heavy lifting and twisting until guided by your therapist.

Prolonged sitting increases pressure on lumbar discs by 40% compared to standing. If you have a desk job, take standing breaks every 30-45 minutes, use proper lumbar support, and maintain your monitor at eye level. We provide specific ergonomic advice during treatment.

Most lower back pain episodes can be fully resolved with proper physiotherapy. However, recurrence is common without lifestyle changes. We focus not just on pain relief but on building core strength, improving posture, and teaching you maintenance exercises to prevent future episodes.

Sessions at C7Physio start from ₹500. Most cases improve significantly within 4–6 sessions; long-standing or complex cases may need more. We discuss the full treatment plan and costs during your first visit.
